It took only three weeks for Avicii's "Wake Me Up" to climb to the number one slot in Germany as the song rises two and replaces Cro's "Whatever" there. After a week at #1, the panda rapper is down to three, while Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" is still at #2.

One of the most surprising hits in Germany this summer, "La La La" by Naughty Boy and Sam Smith advances four and is now at #5, while Fergie's "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)" makes it (also surprisingly) inside the top ten as it climbs six positions to #10. As a solo singer Fergie has been in the top ten twice so far, last with "Big Girls Don’t Cry" (peak #6) in 2007.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the biggest new hit of the week comes from Jessie J and her comeback single "Wild". The song debuts at #12 and marks the third time the British singer has appeared inside the top 20. Her biggest hit remains "Price Tag", which peaked at #3. She also provided guest vocals to James Morrison's #19-song "Up".

Hip-hop duo Genetikk have reversed the downward trend and this week "Liebs oder lass es" recoups eight to #37. New at #38 is the new single of Jay-Z, with the support of Justin Timberlake. Though with little promotion, "Holy Grail" becomes the eight single of the US star as a lead artist in Germany's top 50. Last he was in the countdown with "Empire State of Mind", which peaked at #11 in 2009.
